Reasons for the General Strike of 1926

The general strike of 1926 was caused by short-term and long-term problems. The starting point is long-term factors such as an increase in the number of members, a change in ownership of landmines, and a threat of communism. Coal prices fluctuated with economic instability in the UK, the United States, and Germany, as well as compliance with the gold standard, which also contributed to the general strike. The threat of Labor's growth and nationalization has made private mine workers uneasy.

The general strike of the ninth day from May 4, 1926 to May 13, 1926 was the general strike of Britain in 1926. The labor union general meeting (TUC) urged the UK government to take measures to prevent tax cuts. The conditions of 800,000 fixed coal miners worsened. There are about 7 million workers, especially in transportation and heavy industries. The government prepares and adopts middle class volunteers to maintain basic services. There was little violence, TUC failed. The miners did not get anything. In the long run, there are few influences on labor union activities and labor relations.

Bad labor relations shows the beginning of the decade; British miners' strikes (1984-85) are the major industrial behaviors affecting the British coal industry. The strikes of the National Union Miners' Union Trade Union (NUM) were due to Arthur Skager, but some members of NUM considered it illegal and did not comply. BBC called the strike "the most painful industrial dispute in the history of the UK". At the peak of the strike, the strike involved 142,000 miners and became the biggest since the 1926 total strike.

In 1919, a strike occurred in Sierra Leone. Railroad workers tried to join other workers to them, and more than 2,000 policemen strike to get higher wages. Another railroad strike occurred in 1926 when workers attempted strikes again and tried to defeat the police. Striker showed extraordinary fighting power. They dismantled the rail in front of the managed train. They attacked it with a stick. They remove or loosen the rail on a bent or steep bank approaching the bridge, pull the pole down, and cut the wire to prevent the wires from contacting the protected area. Local governments supported strikes, regional publishers suggested a rebellion, municipalities oppressed the municipality. Here there is a very clear disagreement between our African workers and industrial employers, mainly Caucasians.
